Zazen Dada (the Wanderer)

Kharma is a cold slice of hell for some...

About Me

So I'm here in Kansas City, Missouri.What else is there to say? I live in a land filled with people that do not know how to live their own lives, and insist on having their thoughts dictated to them via mass media... Drama is an everyday struggle here in the land of the lost...
I am a burnout, lost to the seas of insanity as my travels though this world and those beyond have left me an altered induvidual with sights set on the oblivion beyond.This leaves me with fantastic stories to tell and even greater drive to create new adventures with anyone willing to dare cross the threshold of reality.
Ive given up on trying to do things like everyone else, simply because I never carry through with anything society deems as normal. I try to strive to better myself and the others I surround myself with, and although this has bitten me in the ass more times than I care to remember I still move on. Due to this I have developed severe trust issues but keep them under wraps for the sake of other peoples fragile feelings. Needless to say I wear an armoured heart on my shoulder.
I enjoy deep conversations, reading, art, music, spontanious adventures, and public socializing. I try to have a care free attitude, (I'm working really hard at that) and try the "pay it forward" system at least once a day. Im a huge believer in kharma so this helps me more than helps others really. (Did I just negate all kharma because of that statement? Heh.)
I also have a darker side. I, on occasion, have been known to get into these certain funks that take a few days or so to clear out of. I've been known to be irrational, emotional, stressed, and paranoid. All leftover issues that I strive to correct. But that still doesn't stop me from causing trouble, partying all night (and into the next day), and using people. Hey I have to honest here. It's better that way. I regret most of these things, but without them... I'd be pretty boring. And I'll admit, I'm a great guy to party with and a steadfast soldier to get your back in any situation.

My Interests

I enjoy learning new things daily. I have the need to experience new things, and have an extreme case of wanderlust. Like I said, I like art, music, history, metaphysics, exploring, working out, writing, and engaging in various levels of communication with my fellow man.

I also like to get fucked up... (hey, no one perfect) I drink, smoke, drop, roll, and ski (very, VERY rarely). I'm and avid raver, have been for sometime, and rarely turn down an invitation to expand my mind (even though it's not the right way to do it... Look I'm not a monk, and neither are you, so don't judge me!) I drive a lot, and I go one speed. VERY FUCKING FAST!!!! Heh. And finally I plan event parties for extra cash, providing music, enviroment, and entertainment.

I'd like to meet:

I'd really like to surround myself with positive people. People that are going places and actually doing things with their lives. People that strive for true change in the world, not rehashing failed ideas from some bygone era in history. Like those schmucks that spraypaint an "A" inside a circle.

I'd like to find a significant other someday. Someone who wont treat me like the flavor of the month. Someone with enough drive to carry through with what they promise. Someone that wont use "I love you" to mean "I'm gonna fuck you over..." Someone that could actually be a friend first. Someone that doesn't judge me for my past mistakes. Someone that will care for me as much as they care for themselves. But I really dont think there is anyone out there for me. People are just too fake nowadays. That and I dont think anyone could ever keep up with my chaotic life for more than six months at a time.

Music:


I've become bored with most new music... everything begins to sound the same after 20 plus years of listening. I've been hearing new reruns of the 80's lately. It's so sad that nobody cares to notice... or trys to do anything about it. Have faith in the local set... turn off the radio and go see a live show.
